If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from The Gray Man?

All of them. The author needs to read "On Writing" by Stephen King for tips and guidance.

Any additional comments?

From the start, this story has cardboard cut-out characters, is overly dramatic when it doesn't need to be, and the names, oh, the names. It seems like a 13 year old boy picked the main characters name. No nuance and for a book called "The Gray Man" (this means you are supposed to blend in and be unnoticed) this character is the most famous and best assassin in the world!?! this is the opposite of invisible, unnoticed and ignored.

What happened to the Greaney of Jack Ryan Jr.? Plot is a barely disguised ruse to get from one improbable action sequence to the next. None of the well researched detail of technology, politics and psychology of the Post Clancy books. Very little of the fascinating views a of a situation from the different opposing characters. Just another well written super man novel that draws you on and on to the lame ending.

I loved this book. The narrator is truly great and I love the way he keeps you engaged making you feel like you are right there. Wow! What an action packed book. This is my first book in the "Gray Man" series. I am getting the next one post haste. I know the Gray Man is an assassin, but I really loved what to me was a soft side .... his interaction with the granddaughters of his handler. I hope that somewhere along the way, he finds romance. I know it's hard given his profession, but I am a romantic....

Go buy it! I am already getting the next one in the series to listen to.

I enjoyed this story though it is hardly original. I appreciated the author's attempt to make our hero more human and vulnerable as opposed to some superhuman unstoppable force (apparently he is). I will at least read the second in the series.

First, the narrator. I'm not a huge fan, but he did alright. His South Africans flip-flopped between Australian and Irish, but still alright.

The writing was garbage. If you are a fan of 'his wounds would kill any normal man, but he was no normal man' for an entire book, then this is for you.

If you have a shred of intelligence, understand anything about medicine, firearms, logistics, human behavior or children, or have any prior military or police experience, odds are good that you'll hate this book. It was garbage. I wish I could scrub my brain out after putting this into it.
